About St Luke's RC Primary School

St Luke's RC Primary School sits right in the middle of the pack for Salford primary schools, ranking 37th out of 75. Its headline KS2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 58%, which is just three points below the Salford local authority average of 61%. That's a fairly narrow gap, and it places the school in the bottom half of the national percentile at around the 61st mark, meaning it's broadly typical rather than a standout performer. What's more interesting is the contrast with the school's own past: its most recent graded inspection rated it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management, but its previous inspection had rated it Requires improvement. So the school has clearly moved in the right direction, even if its current exam results don't push it above the LA average.
